nothing but trouble
So it all started with me trying to help out a co-worker of my wifes. She was in need of cheap transportation fast. I happened to know a guy in need of some fast cash, so I got him to sell his '85 burb to me for cheap. She had it for a month and never paid for it. Instead she bought another truck.That was the first problem. So I went and picked it up and decided to go through it, get some problems sorted out and then try to recoup some of my money. I picked up a rotor and a set of pads ( she drove it on bad brakes ). The rotor was the first set back. Turns out the people at the local parts store don't know how to get things right. I finally got the correct rotor and then realized the callipers were sticking, so back to the parts store. Guess what, they sent me home with the wrong callipers. The bolt for the brake hose didn't thread into them. When I took'em back they had no idea what I needed. I finally got that sorted out and started to get it all on tonight. Got one side on and started on the other and then the jack sprung a leak. It's been like this from the start. Sorry for the long rant, but this should have been an afternoon job. It has turned into about three days. I watch my kids during the day and only have time for this thing around 11pm. Needless to say I will be happy when this thing is gone!
